I am the proud recipient of the 2025 Adventus Calendar from u/cowzilla3. This set easily eviscerates PAA’s advent calendar. So much thanks to cowzilla3 for this generous gift.

So, I’m a bit late getting started. I’m pausing my sample massacre. I know I could fast forward the calendar to sync with the world calendar, but I’m not going to do it. Each day is mostly in a satchel/bag. I’m only opening one per day.

Adventus Day 1

Today, I got a Timeless unbreakable bowl. It’s made of pretty thick blue plastic (maybe injection molded?). Built in swirls, narrower and taller than my normal Captain’s Choice.

I got a sample labeled Soap Commander. I’m not sure which one. To my nose it’s sort of in the Cella direction. My wife says “it smells… Clean.”

Results were great. The bowl helped me whip up the lather quickly. It did steal a bit of the soap in the swirl corners. The soap was super slick but started giving out in pass 3. I recovered easily whipping it up in the bowl. BBS result with no nicks or irritation.

Have a good day!
